Signs of Spring!

After what seems like the longest winter ever, some sure signs of spring appeared this week... like these gorgeous lilac buds. I can hardly wait to smell this lilac!

Other flowers began to emerge, too, like these dafodils...... and these grassy looking wisps under a pine tree that will soon produce some pretty little white flowers. I think they are a kind of creeping lily.But flowers were not the only signs of spring this week.

Another sure sign of spring... monsters lounged in the warm sun.And! I had to mow the grass!

Chickens enjoy the grass clippings.But it was the surest sign of spring that really got me excited this week......finally! The forsythia has bloomed!

Welcome to my little corner of the world! I like to eat home grown food so this blog is mostly about doing that.
Summer 2012 update: I'm putting up fewer posts for a few months as I'm learning to juggle some new responsibilities in my life. I hope to get back to more frequent posting soon. Thank you for visiting! love, homegrown countrygirl
